Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermes (thanks Larimar, for the decant)

This stuff is ghostly, it comes and then shapeshifts away only to come back again at the oddest moments. I love that about JCE scents. I'm not sure I would really use a full bottle of this but I got a lot of enjoyment out of this decant. Now I have the others in the line to keep me company (Vetiver Tonka, Brin de Reglisse and Paprika Brasil).
